Do a web search for dominant/recessive human traits, keeping in mind that most of our traits are not controlled by just one gene in a simple dominant/recessive manner.
Pick one trait that is controlled (mostly) by one gene in a dominant/recessive manner. This trait can either be one found in your family, or you can make up an example.
• What is your (or the made-up person’s) phenotype for this trait?
• What is your (or the made-up person’s) likely genotype for this trait? Note: there may be more than one possible genotype.
• What are the phenotypes and genotypes for the biological parents and possible siblings, or the other biological parent and biological children for this trait? (You need two generations for the Punnett Square)
• Create a likely Punnett Square for this trait in the described biological family (yours or the made-up example).
• Are there other factors that may determine the phenotype for this particular trait? Are more than one gene likely involved? Are other inheritance patterns involved? Is this trait impacted by environmental factors?
